Chapter 203: Chu Wang Shu’s Background, Reverse Version
Kirimi Miyuki felt a bit sad inside; she thought the atmosphere just now was surprisingly nice. If she could tease a little more and lean closer into Little Qing’s arms, mimicking that shameless, flirty spirit of that golden retriever, maybe Little Qing would wrap her arms around her waist and kiss her tightly!
And…
The Kagura Dance not only changed Chu Yuanqing’s favorability rating, but after she revived those scattered and broken memories, feelings from the old days surfaced, making her feelings for Chu Yuanqing even deeper.
Little Sakura had a strong desire to act cute; she really wanted to do something with the other person to express her feelings. Her intuition told her that this kiss would surely feel even better than before.
The girl glanced at a cute cat with wet fur and a rosy face. Her diamond-like, clear eyes flashed with a hint of resentment: it would be nice if this big lightbulb wasn’t here.
That awful Liuli is simply unforgivable!
But Liuli’s arrival helped her regain some calmness.
Little Qing had said that they must never let Little Shu find out about their relationship. If they ended up kissing in the dance room and Little Shu walked in on them, it would be a disaster.
When the time comes, not only must I explain the chaos within the team, but I will also have to face Honey Qing’s questioning afterward. Just imagining it is quite frightening!
The green-eyed cat looked at Little Sakura, its corners of its eyes raised, showing a pure and annoying smile. It felt like the cat was bragging, very pleased with itself. Little Sakura was so angry that she secretly ground her teeth and glared at it unhappily.
Xie Qingxuan pushed the door open and entered.
The girl’s platinum hair was wet, with some water droplets on her lashes. Her dark eyes were calm and focused, looking like a small dog that still wanted to cuddle even after being caught in the rain. She paid all her attention to Chu Yuanqing, and it was quite adorable.
Chu Yuanqing felt even more guilty. Before she remembered the shrine maiden, she could have made excuses, saying that Xie Qingxuan might just be a comrade with a purely friendly bond.
But now, she doubted if her relationship with Xie Qingxuan was really clear.
It’s not that the past Chu Yuanying was too untrustworthy; he left behind many emotional debts in the old days.
Just like the ending of the shrine maiden forging a sword with her own body, as the savior, almost everyone around me has died in tragic ways.
In such situations, any feelings couldn’t bloom or bear fruit in time, all withering away in the following tragedies, like a song interrupted halfway, leaving only regrets.
In the end, the only one still alive by her side was Charlotte.
However, after defeating the thirteen Calamity Gods, Chu Yuanying had already lost his mind many times. He was uncertain if he was still himself and had become a walking corpse filled with a desire to save the world. He lost the ability to love someone, so he naturally had no right to give Charlotte an answer.
Thus, Chu Wang Shu was not born through normal means.
In fact, before the two of them corrected the timeline, this planet was about to perish, making it impossible for a newborn to be born after a ten-month pregnancy.
The beloved daughter was the last baby to be born in the old era, created by Charlotte before launching the farewell, blending their bloodlines with blessing, infusing their emotions and souls, and crossing many barriers with her power.
This was Charlotte’s decision.
To give Chu Yuanying a reason to continue living when he returned to the new era, she chose to entrust him with the most special treasure of her life before she passed away.
The Last Diva’s decision was indeed very successful.
Chu Yuanying has been able to survive until now and has struggled to this day because he was given the responsibility of being a father.
But now, the causes and effects of the old world continue into the new world, and many things have become very twisted.
For example, the lovely daughter who is the same age as her real mother.
For example, Chu Yuanqing, who is younger than her daughter at the moment.
For example, all the targets for magic recovery seem to be old acquaintances, and feelings start to become confusing. Charlotte, who is theoretically the main partner, is still far away.
Chu Yuanqing is very serious; when she thinks about these things a little, her brain feels like it’s going to overheat, filled with shame, guilt, betrayal, and other mixed feelings.
The Pure White Witch could not help but avoid the golden retriever’s direct gaze. She couldn’t handle such straightforward affection. When looked at with innocent eyes, she felt like she was a terrible person and not a good father anymore.
Xie Qingxuan was a bit curious; her eyes showed confusion. She thought Little Qing suddenly seemed very strange, like a woman at a crossroads in a little movie, with an alluring sense of entanglement. Even her soft pink lips seemed more tempting.
Hmm, I need to find a chance to see what is different from usual.
The golden retriever decided on today’s main task. Her expression remained unchanged as she casually asked:
"There are two bathrooms available now. Aren’t you going to take a shower?"
As the words faded, Chu Wang Shu, who had also finished her bath, walked into the dance room.
The lovely daughter looked at Kirimi Miyuki, who was still in her training clothes, and at the Pure White Witch, whose lashes were low and who was playing with a strand of hair at her ear, gazing at her toes, making the atmosphere feel a bit strange.
Could it be…
Were they talking about adult topics behind her back, making Little Qing feel shy?
Chu Wang Shu thought of this and felt curious; she wanted to listen too!
Unfortunately, her arrival acted like a perfect balm, easing the strange atmosphere in the room, causing everyone to go back to their tasks. Chu Yuanqing and Kirimi Miyuki went outside one after the other to take a shower in the empty bathroom, leaving the lovely daughter who wanted to enter the adult world quite disappointed.
Twenty minutes later, everyone gathered again.
It was now six-thirty in the evening, and everyone decided to have dinner and then find a place to wander around, making sure to return to the hotel before ten to wash up and sleep, preparing for the next day’s plans and training.
Chu Yuanqing usually does not mind what to eat. She and her teammates are enjoying the evening breeze from the Danube River and admiring the city streets of Vienna. They say that you can see the whole city’s night view from Danube Park, but it is quite empty there at night, so everyone prefers livelier places.
Little Sakura firmly believes that to see the true face of a city, you cannot only visit famous attractions. Since they agreed to go out to create wonderful memories, they naturally need to have some spirit of exploration and adventure.
The green-eyed cat expressed doubt, as she thinks that a few girls wandering around at night might easily encounter bad people.
Well, this is not being timid; it is just having good safety awareness!
However, thinking about it, with Honey Qing, the magical girl, as a bodyguard, there seems to be nothing to worry about. At most, they can stay close to each other the whole time.
So, Tang Liuli bravely agreed to this suggestion and confidently stated that she would always keep Chu Yuanqing close, like a clingy cat sticking by her side.
In truth, calling it an adventure is really just wandering around.
As for dinner, they didn’t choose a specific restaurant but instead bought snacks from street vendors like a lottery.
Chu Wang Shu is quite suspicious that Sister Miyuki is deliberately gathering more material to complete her vlog task as soon as possible.
But it’s okay because it is very interesting.
The night in Vienna really has many interesting things, like people pretending to be Mozart, street performers who stand still like statues, musicians playing the accordion by the Danube River, rock artists performing with brooms as guitars, and a barefoot uncle playing the "Vienna Waltz" on the violin…
The little idol ate some snacks from a street vendor and then sat at an outdoor sausage stand; this is quite a lively square where you can see a ferris wheel shining with warm lights, creating a gentle atmosphere full of life.
The combinations on the menu are surprisingly extensive.
Pure White Witch ordered a cheese sausage.
This is a lightly smoked pork sausage filled with a good amount of cheese; after being grilled, the outer skin is crispy and sizzles with oil. When you bite into it, you hear a crunch, and the cheese rolls around in your mouth. Together with the chewy meat and rye bread, the combined texture is excellent and very delicious.
The rest, like Vienna sausages, fried sausages, and hot dogs, go without saying, but the fried squid, truffle potatoes, tartare steak, and the vegetarian sausages are even more special.
Since their appetites aren’t big, they each ordered one and shared, which was just enough to fill them up.
The cute daughter sipped her raspberry lemonade and looked at the spinning ferris wheel in the distance, then turned hopefully to Pure White Witch sitting across from her and said:
"Little Qing, I want to taste some draft beer, and I wonder what champagne tastes like."
Chu Yuanqing said with a serious little face:
"Girls should not drink too much when they are out, and soda tastes better than alcohol, so just this once."
Because of her personality and family background, Little Shu hardly ever drinks anything, let alone alcohol. Her instinct as a father is to refuse.
But thinking it over, it might be better to let her learn. At least now I can keep an eye on her, so she knows her limits and won’t be easily tricked by bad people; perhaps I shouldn’t stop her.
"Yay!"
Chu Wang Shu cheered softly and looked at the menu with the green-eyed cat beside her.
Then, the little idols ordered a glass of fruity champagne and a pitcher of draft beer, sharing drinks with paper cups.
It’s worth mentioning that in the group, only Xie Qingxuan and Kirimi Miyuki are of legal drinking age; the other three are technically underage drinkers.
On the other hand, Little Sakura is 19 years old, and on Dongliu Island, the law states that you must be 20 to drink alcohol legally.
So for a moment, ignoring the golden retriever calmly finishing its drink and the Pure White Witch, who focuses on companionship, the other three found it very exciting. They even playfully clinked their glasses together, making the scene look full of youth and quite cute from a distance.
Kirimi Miyuki’s eyes sparkled; she set down the camera recording the video and quietly took a sip of champagne. At first, it tasted sweet and refreshing, but then it had a strange aftertaste that mixed in some bitterness like almonds.
Drinking draft beer in small sips wasn’t enjoyable, but taking big gulps felt refreshing. When paired with fried food, it created a wonderful reaction, making one plus one feel like more than two.
Chu Wang Shu quickly lost interest after tasting each drink a little. Once her curiosity was satisfied, she went back to drinking soda, which made her father very pleased.
The green-eyed cat took a big sip and found it didn’t taste good. With a serious face, she poured the champagne into a glass of jasmine peach soda, then asked the owner for some mint leaves and ice cubes, mixing it all together like a pro, creating a surprisingly beautiful color.
Chu Yuanqing watched curiously as Tang Liuli made her "dark cuisine," with ice cubes floating in the blue liquid and healthy mint leaves resting on top.
The girl thought Liuli was quite sensible, at least for not adding beer into the mix.
Then she watched as the green-eyed cat finished the strange drink. The little face slowly turned pink, and then she began to look adorably dazed, making the girl unable to resist asking:
"Is it good?"
Tang Liuli’s cheeks turned warm, her bright green eyes spun in circles as she dreamily smiled widely and said happily:
"It’s sweet."
Xie Qingxuan touched her forehead, feeling it a bit warm, and asked:
"You’re not drunk, are you?"
Tang Liuli felt she wasn’t drunk; who would be so silly as to get drunk from half a glass of champagne?
The green-eyed cat felt braver, her mind light and carefree, and her nervousness while shopping faded away like the tide, as if she had gained an unprecedented freedom, making her very happy.
The girl said confidently:
"I’m not drunk at all."
Little Sakura pinched Tang Liuli’s cheek, and after barely pinching her soft and warm face once, she was quickly swatted away by the cat. She was very surprised and declared:
"Liuli must be drunk; she would never dare to swat my hand like this usually."
Tang Liuli proudly lifted her chin and said:
"Nonsense! You are just a Sakura girl, and I dare to glare at you, so why wouldn’t I dare to swat you?"
Kirimi Miyuki tried hard to remember but truly could not recall ever being glared at by the green-eyed cat.
Hmm, perhaps the other person glared too subtly.
Chu Wang Shu also tried to pinch Tang Liuli’s cheek, curious if she would get swatted away, and after a few seconds of squeezing, Tang Liuli finally used her little hand to remove it.
The green-eyed cat seriously told her adorable daughter that she was a respected senior and seniors should not have their cheeks pinched by juniors. Then, she pinched Tang Liuli back with care and even playfully squeezed a little longer.
Xie Qingxuan felt a bit regretful; if only there were no one else around, she could have asked Master Liuli if there were any secret techniques she had not taught yet. Right now, she looked very easy to trick.
Chu Yuanqing thought it would be inconvenient for Little Liuli to go shopping like this, so after they finished eating, they could just walk back to the hotel slowly.
Kirimi Miyuki said she had no objections; it was her first time drinking. After having a little less than half a pint of beer, she didn’t feel as useless as the shy cat but still thought her mind felt a bit slower. She enjoyed the gentle evening breeze and felt pleasantly tipsy, her cheeks flushed with a lovely pink glow.
Xie Qingxuan was not affected at all. Unlike Little Sakura, she didn’t drink too much and practiced sitting meditation, which helped her manage her physical reactions. Even if she did get drunk, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, she was really looking forward to giving a gift to the Pure White Witch later, so she felt no dissatisfaction about heading back to the hotel early.
Chu Wang Shu, the one who suggested drinking, only had a few sips and still felt quite awake. But since she usually goes to bed early, she started to feel a bit sleepy, even though it was just after eight o’clock.
But…
The green-eyed cat thought this was not good. When she felt a little foggy, she had a sense of boldness about Vienna and didn’t want to go back to the hotel so soon. After finishing the grilled sausage on her plate, she quickly stood up and walked towards the other side of the square.
Chu Yuanqing and the little idols quickly followed behind to make sure she wouldn’t trip and fall.
Tang Liuli walked steadily and quite fast.
At this moment, it was hard to imagine her walking slowly like she usually did, always hiding at the back because of her shyness.
Chu Yuanqing gently led the little child and quietly used magical threads to wrap around the other’s waist and wrist, to help the lost kitten find its way home. She asked:
"Does Liuli have anywhere else she wants to go?"
Tang Liuli reached out her little hand and pointed to the nearby outdoor skating rink, saying:
"Little Qing, come play with me, I’ll teach you."
Kirimi Miyuki was a bit surprised:
"Liuli can roller skate?"
It was hard to believe; this sport, where you could easily fall, seemed totally unsuitable for Liuli, right?
Well, Little Sakura would never guess that this seemingly shy kitten could ride a mountain bike, do free fighting, drive a yacht, race cars, and even fly a private plane.
Chu Wang Shu was very curious but worried that drunk Liuli might fall.
Chu Yuanqing did not hesitate for long and agreed. She had never played with roller skates before, but she was very balanced. With the help of the Magic Armor, there was basically no safety risk, so it was fine for Liuli to be a little reckless.
However…
"But Liuli, we don’t have roller skates!"
Tang Liuli was stunned by this, thinking for a moment. She grabbed the Pure White Witch’s little hand and randomly stopped a beautiful older sister wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. With her bright green eyes, she showed a cheerful smile and asked for her size. After getting the size, she paid one hundred euros to rent the older sister’s shoes.
The sight of this social success amazed all the little idols.
Kirimi Miyuki seriously picked up her camera, deciding to record every moment of the socially anxious cat enjoying herself after getting drunk.
Then, Tang Liuli used the same method to rent another pair of roller skates. It was hard to tell if it was because she looked so cute or if her green eyes were truly popular with the locals, but the second beautiful sister didn’t even ask for money.
The girl changed into the roller skates. After a little time to get used to them, she squinted under the night sky, stretched her body lazily, and, under the surprised gazes of others, twisted her steps and spun in a few beautiful circles. Then she rolled back and forth on her toes and heels, smoothly weaving around a row of obstacles.
—Fancy slalom.
Still as precise as a clock, weaving through the cones with rhythm and grace.
Tang Liuli seemed to dance as she moved between the different obstacles on the skating rink, her movements smooth and natural. After a while, she glided over to Pure White Witch’s side.
The girl’s long legs intertwined, the tips of her skates touching the ground as she spun like a waltz. Her arms opened wide, then gracefully came together, her small hands clasped. As her spinning slowed, they raised their hands above their heads, resembling elegant swans.
Finally, she slowly stopped spinning, her hands parting above her head, her movements beautiful as if she were lifting an imaginary skirt for Chu Yuanqing, performing the etiquette of a noble lady, smiling happily as she said:
"Little Qing, come join us!"
Tang Liuli took Chu Yuanqing’s small hand. She was clearly a bit silly and tipsy, but the grip was gentle and sincere. Under everyone’s gaze, she led Pure White Witch across the rink, like two fish trying to escape the world’s tides, weaving through the lights, leaving behind intersecting trails.
In the end, Chu Yuanqing twirled as she followed the girl’s lead.
To avoid falling, they held each other’s waists, as if in a sweet embrace. Their lips drew closer as they twirled, nearly overlapping in the moonlight, like a passionate dance.
